Kamala is officially the Dem canidate?

[Tero]

No. But there are no other major contenders. The delegates (all Biden delegates) need to vote virtually.

We’re in the just make a bunch of shit up stage. Republicans are claiming this proves Democrats have been lying, and Democrats are pretending this move has put Republicans on the back foot. —oh my

When the stench clears I predict the race will be about even.

[Tero]

Conspiracy! It was all planned to derail Trump campaign. And leave him with no stand up Biden routine.

Terrible VP lets in millions of illegals

But there were fresh signs on Monday that Trump’s political operation was readjusting to the new reality and sharpening its attacks against the vice president. In a memo to reporters, the Trump campaign previewed a blistering assault to come on Harris.

Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita cast her as the “copilot” of some of Biden’s most “egregious failures.” They signaled that the vice president’s lack of success in addressing the causes in Latin America of southern border crossings would morph into a narrative that she’s soft on illegal immigration. “She’s had a lower approval rating than Joe Biden. Harris is the least popular vice president in history – which is no surprise given her terrible record,” the memo said.

“She makes just as much sense as Joe Biden. By that we mean, none at all.”

GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance on Monday claimed that “Kamala Harris lied about it. My Senate Democratic colleagues lied about it. The media lied about it. Every single person who saw Joe Biden knew that he wasn’t capable of doing the job, and for three years they said nothing, until he became political deadweight.”

While right wing twitter wants proof of life of Biden, and claims Biden dropping out is illegal, left wing Threads claims Trump wants to dump Vance. Why do people buy into this stuff?

[Brian Peacock]

Because attention is currency in the marketplace of ideas.

voters fall back on
1 which is the alpha male here ?(to be decided)
2 which one is sharper?

HARRIS SEEN AS SHARPER THAN BIDEN, TRUMP
Some 56% of registered voters agreed with a statement that Harris, 59, was "mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges," compared to 49% who said the same of Trump, 78.
Only 22% of voters assessed Biden that way.
Biden, 81, ended his reelection effort after a debate with Trump in which he often stammered and failed to aggressively challenge attacks by Trump that included falsehoods.

The phrase "I understand the assignment" gained popularity as a meme from a video of a student confidently presenting in class.

New GOP point to cut down Harris:
she's not really black bacause her dad was not descended from slaves.
